When you say you and Mr. Gordo have nothing more to say, do you mean for the day or forever? If the latter, I am really sorry. If the former, I tend to assume the worst. Do you want to talk about it? Do you want to drink about it?
SuperTarget may not solve all problems, but it solves many of them. There is something about the cheery red-and-white-fluorescent bounty that just makes me feel better.
Oh God no! Mr. Gordo and I are still together; I meant our daily ritual of 2-10 phone calls. Now the smart ass is calling me saying, "I wanted to get in my call #4." LOL
Raro:
Love your lessons . . . except for the age-ist, self-loathing comments about yourself. Sugarpie, smile, enjoy, and don't give a second thought to such evil.
Kisses,
Your secret admirer
Yes, I agree with GayProf. A little retail therapy never hurts.
